The Inheritance. channel 5 9pm. good cast.

I watched it and thought it was rather silly, (the Coroner and Solicitor were distinctly off-hand) but will watch next week to see what unfolds. The family could most certainly challenge the will.

JdotJ I have always assumed that all reviewers had to be under 25 with absolutely zero experience of life outside their university. Is that not the case then ?

Unfortunately, I’ve just started watching it on +1 and a main character is played by Robert James Collier - one of the worst actors in my mind - just a mumbling Mancunian in whatever role he has.

So easy on the eye though! Yes I am that vacuous

Pleased the majority liked it. I've got it on series record but it had a shocking review in the newspaper today.
I wonder what some reviewers actually watch !
Looking forward to seeing it

Wherever they're supposed to be living was obviously too far away to visit their father. What an undeserving shower!

There was clearly a lack of communication between them (he mustn't have visited them either), as they didn't know he had married. I'm assuming that there is a backstory that hasn't been revealed yet, as it seems a bit unbelievable at this stage. We are being led to believe that the son is the baddie, but (I hope) there will be twists before the end.

I can't wait for the next episode. Much of it resonates with the problems we had with my DH when his father died.

It’s great if they space the episodes out on a weekly basis, as that is an indication of how good a series is.

If it’s uploaded all at once, often means it’s a bit mediocre.

My opinion only of course.

I have no objection to their being screened weekly, but why not give viewers a choice to watch them on the 'catch-up' channels if that's their preference?

I don't like the fashion for screening things on consecutive nights either. I can almost never be free to see them three nights in a row, and there is no time to catch up before the next one goes out. Some of them (eg the Woman In The Wall) give you the worst of both worlds, with two consecutive nights, then a gap before the next ones. Who runs their diary around TV schedules?

I know it was filmed in Ireland, does anyone know where this family is supposed to be living?

I might wait till the end and watch the rest on My5. The odds on my being available every Monday evening for four weeks are slim, and as I say, I don't like a whole week's gap between hour-long episodes now I am used to being able to 'binge' and see the whole thing.

Enjoyed it - must remember to continue watching next Monday

I thought it was quite good so will watch again next week.

I quite enjoyed this and will stick with it. It drove me mad trying to remember where I had seen that actor before, so thank you all for putting me out of my misery

I enjoyed it too. I was quite surprised, as often Ch 5 dramas are disappointing, even when they have a good cast. I didn’t realise we had to wait for the next episode though. Is it not on My5? I much prefer to watch a series over a day or two than wait a week between episodes.

Really enjoyed it. Straightforward storyline which was easy to follow. Looking forward to next week.

Agreed. Not keen on Adil Ray either, I don’t rate him as an actor at all.

Larry Lamb didn’t have a very big part did he? 🤣

Yes a very good watch so far. Ill need a remindet by next Monday though.

This is really good. I was shouting, ‘Go to the police’ at the telly and then……

Yes me too!!
Glad we recorded it so we could whizz through the adverts. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

He was on Corrie as well as Downton
He was a Connor, related in marriage so way to Carla

Oh we enjoyed it, I also couldn't put my finger on who the son was and convinced myself he'd been on Coronation Street!
Anyway, looking forward to seeing the next episode

Shame we have to wait a week for next episode….

I’ve just googled him as I couldn’t put my finger on what else he’d been in.

Of course, he was Barrow in Downton Abbey!!

I really enjoyed it looking forward to the next episode.
